Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 483 Poverty

His eyes could not help but look at Pei Rongjin in front of him. The boy had a sharp face, deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and a clear chin line. At this moment, he pursed his lips slightly, and his face was a little red.

He was wearing a simple but exquisite moon-white brocade robe, with a dark belt around his waist, which showed off his slim waist. His upright figure was slightly bowed humbly, and he exuded a gentle and restrained temperament.

Standing next to the flower buds, they really look like a golden boy and jade girl, very pleasing to the eyes.

"Dad, the Marquis Zhenbei Mansion is the former Marquis Dingbei Mansion. Two years ago, the emperor conferred a higher title on Grandfather Pei because of his meritorious service in encircling and suppressing the invading Xiaowan tribe in Mobei, so it is now the Marquis Zhenbei Mansion. Young Master Pei is Grandfather Pei's eldest grandson." Hua Lei understood what her father meant, so she said it directly.

"Oh, so you're Uncle Pei's eldest grandson?" Hua Mancheng nodded and looked at Rong Jin carefully again. This was the first time he had seen the son-in-law who was arranged to marry his daughter. After all, it was related to his daughter's lifelong happiness, so Hua Mancheng looked him up and down for a long time.

"Yes, Uncle Xiaocheng, my grandfather is Pei Canghai, my father is Pei Jingyang, and my younger generation is Pei Rongjin. Grandfather Hua and grandfather arranged the marriage for me and sister Hua." Rongjin leaned over again and answered.

"It turns out to be Jin'er. I didn't expect that you are so big now. If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have recognized you. You are really a handsome guy." Hua Mancheng stepped forward to help Rong Jin up and nodded with satisfaction.

Yun Siwan, who was about to go back to her room to pack up, stopped immediately when she heard Hua Lei introduce Rong Jin as her engaged partner.

She looked at her daughter, and then at Rong Jin who had been standing beside her. The young man had beautiful features, a handsome face, and was humble, polite, and tactful. The more Yun Siwan looked at him, the happier she became.

He couldn't help but stepped forward and gently patted Rong Jin's arm, saying softly, "It turns out to be Jin'er. This is the first time we meet. You look so good, so good.

It’s just that, really…really, Lei’er’s father and I were rude. We don’t have anything good on us, not even a gift for meeting you.” Yun Siwan was happy, but also embarrassed and awkward.

Her hands, which didn't know where to put, were clasped tightly together. She originally wanted to hold Rong Jin's hand, but when she saw the young man's slender, white, and bony hands, she shyed back in embarrassment.

"Aunt, finding you and Uncle Xiaocheng is the greatest joy. How can it be considered impolite? Now, Hua Meimehao and Xiaoyuan can finally rest assured."

Rong Jin blushed slightly, stepped forward and gently shook Yun Siwan's rough hand, and said softly. He looked at the flower bud and said, "Besides, for Rong Jin, Sister Hua is the best and a priceless treasure."

"Eh..." Looking at Rong Jin, whose heart and eyes were full of Hua Lei, and Hua Lei who was smiling sweetly, Yun Siwan smiled with relief, and Hua Mancheng next to her also slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

"Mom, it's getting dark. Let's pack up and go back to the inn early." Hua Lei stepped forward to support Yun Siwan and said.

"Okay, okay, let's go back to the inn, let's go back to the inn." Yun Siwan nodded and was about to turn around and go into the house to pack her luggage. Seeing Ni Daya on the side, Yun Siwan urged her.

"Daya, hurry up, pack up and go to the inn. Remember the pants that Mobao hung under the eaves, don't leave them behind. There aren't enough to change into anyway."

"Yes, stepmother." Ni Daya smiled and agreed readily, while collecting the half-dried clothes hanging under the eaves.

Hua Lei followed Yun Siwan into the room. The low room was already dark. Near the door was a single stove, which should have been newly built not long ago.

There were already several bowls of green vegetable porridge on the stove. At this time, there was no steam. In the steamer on the side, there were a few mixed flour steamed buns.

On the other side, against the wall, there was a shabby table with one leg propped up by a brick. On it was a plate of pickles and a few pairs of chopsticks. Before Hualei came over, they seemed to be preparing to have dinner. Hualei glanced at it and silently looked away.

In the corner of the wall, bricks were piled up and a few wooden boards were placed on top to serve as a bed. On the bed, straw was spread underneath, a half-new blanket was placed on top, and quilts were piled on the inside.

There were a few pieces of clothes at the end of the bed. Yun Siwan went forward and folded them one by one, then dragged out a wicker box from under the bed and put the clothes in. Hua Lei went forward and helped her put the remaining clothes in.

Then came the quilt, then the bed sheet. After a flurry of activity, a bundle and a wicker box were packed with all the couple's belongings.

Ni Daya from the next room also dragged out a wicker box and two bundles. The family's belongings were all packed up.

Tian Changjin and his son stepped forward and quickly helped lift the box. Uncle Fu took out a few ten-liang silver ingots from his sleeve pocket and stuffed them into Gou Wa's pocket.

The group walked out of the alley. Hua Lei helped Yun Siwan get on the carriage. Ni Daya also got on the carriage with her two-year-old son.

Hua Mancheng got on the carriage at the back with Xiaoyuan, Cheng Linsheng, and Rong Jin.

At this time, it was already dark and the rain was gradually easing. Three quarters of an hour later, everyone returned to Tongfu Inn.

The guards had come back early and ordered meals. Hua Lei was worried that Hua Mancheng and the others would not be able to adapt to the stomach for a while, so she asked for lighter meals. She also specially asked for a bowl of egg custard for the two-year-old Mo Bao.

After dinner, they went to get two more rooms. Cheng Linsheng, Ni Daya and Mo Bao went into one of them to settle down. Hua Lei asked Uncle Fu to take his father to another room to take a bath and wash up.

He helped Yun Siwan into his room first, and asked the waiter to bring hot water, and asked Zi Yan and Zi Yun to help Yun Siwan wash and bathe.

Hua Lei took out a few middle-length clothes and jackets from her bag and prepared them for Yun Siwan to change into. It was already late, and all the shops on the pier were closed. For a while, Hua Lei couldn't buy any clothes to change into.

Fortunately, my mother's body shape is similar to my own. Just now, when my mother was packing her bags, Hualei saw that she didn't have any decent clothes.

Although my clothes are brightly colored and not very suitable for Yun, I will just make do with them for tonight and think about it tomorrow.

As for Hua Mancheng, Cheng Linsheng and his wife probably didn't have any decent clothes. Hua Lei also asked Zi Yan and a few male guards to pick out a few pieces to send over as an emergency measure. Ni Daya couldn't wear Hua Lei's clothes.

After everyone had washed up, it was already the end of the Xu hour. Even if Hua Lei had many words to say or questions to ask, she kept them in her heart.
